Got flipping toothache again......

I hope this isn't another round of me visiting the dentist every five minutes!!! It's been bothering me for a few days now, but haven't thought much about it. However it isn't going away. It's one of my upper teeth around the same place I had my root canal done. Though it can't be that one as it has no nerves left in it?

Then dh has pink eye AGAIN. It was only in February when he had it last. He was at the doctors yesterday and he confirmed it was pink eye and the only way he is getting it is from someone else. There's a manager that has to sign paperwork for dh each week at work who often has it, so we are wondering if it's via him?

Luckily for me and everyone else I haven't got it, as believe me if I had to put drops in my eyes you would all hear about it!!!

It can't be the tooth that had the root canal treatment Gill--Unless it's somehow gotten reinfected, which sometimes does happen. Are you having problems with your sinuses? That as you no doubt know can cause toothaches on your upper teeth...I'll hope that's what it is.

Pink Eye. Everything a person with it touches is a potential contaminant which is why if you have pink eye you have your own face cloth , towel, pillowcase etc etc. If the guy with pink eye rubs his eye, then touches a pen/paper then hubby touches pen/paper then touches his eye.......Jane x

Pink eye is highly contagious. I remember when all 5 of us got it..not fun. Hopefully you will continue to not get it. Sorry about the toothache, hope you can get that fixed. Cooled right down here, in fact it didn't get above 0 yesterday. Not sure when spring is going to arrive..hope it's soon. Hugs

My-oh-my, Gill! You really are having a bad run, arn't you. We just had to make a contribution of $AUS2,500 to assist our daughter in having impacted wisdom teeth removed and I know (from her description) just how discomforting teeth problems can be!

My mother used damp tea bags for treating pink eye with us kids. She placed them on our eyes to ease the discomfort of allergic pink eye. For this boil the tea bags and let them cool before placing them on the infected eye. You can also simply make a little stronger tea and then use an eye cup to hold the lukewarm tea in each eye.

Those ailments keep coming around and around don't they. I'm not sure the authorities know what they're talking about all the time though. It seems more likely to me that it didn't truly, wholly go the last time and now it has come back. Perhaps dh needs to boost his immune system? It's a horrible thing and I hope he gets rid of it before you catch it. Keep to separate towels and flannels as much as you can and be sure and iron the pillowcases with a hot iron. All that should help.
